new products—the casual clothing range. We’ll be running a major advertising campaign for them. Robert: Well, the advertising campaign obviously has to be aimed at young people. Brian: Yes, and what’s urgent now is to come up with something that is really attractive and effective. Robert: Did our sponsorship proposals go anywhere? Brian: Not certain yet, but it looks as though we could be signing a sponsorship deal with one of China’s first league football clubs. Robert: Great. And what about the posters? I suggest we don’t put up posters outside urban areas. Posters in the countryside are seen as environmentally unfriendly by our target customers. We’ve chosen one or two sites in major cities and put up very large posters on the side of buildings and smaller ones on bus stops used by university and college students. Brian: That’s good. Any other ideas? Robert: What if we advertised on rock radio stations? That would reach the right audience. And it wouldn’t be too expensive.

教案课程名称新视野商务英语视听说(第三版)(上) 课时班级专业教师系部教研室教材《新视野商务英语视听说(第三版)(上)》1Unit 10 Company Performance Learning Objectives（教学目标）2Business Profile（内容概览）Want to Know About Company Performance?By the end of each financial year, all publicly traded companies will release a report to tell shareholders, prospective investors, customers and others about the company performance, i.e. how business ran in the past year. We call this the “annual report”. The report includes quantifiable and unquantifiable information which has been audited and required by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission). Reading annual reports is an excellent way to familiarise yourself with a company and its market.Annual Reports DescriptionAn annual report is a report presented each year by the directors to the members and shareholders of a company, giving information about the company’s trading activities and including certain documents which must be produced by law, namely the balance sheet, the profit and loss account and the auditors’and directors’reports.Format of Annual ReportsMost annual reports follow a very similar format, in terms of the different types of information they contain.Common sections are:—A letter from the company chairman/CEO (The Chairman’s Statement)—The financial highlights—The balance sheets—The profit and loss statements3—New business reports—The annual review—Projections—Outstanding stock shares and value—A complete list of the board membersChairman’s Statement DescriptionThe Chairman’s Statement is made by the chairman of a company at its annual general meeting and is often included in the annual report. The statement is not required by law and there are no regulations as to its contents, but it often contains interesting and useful information about the company.Who reads the Chairman’s Statement?Reading the narrative element of an annual report in conjunction with the financial statements helps with their interpretation, and it can give a telling overview of the company even before the finances are examined. Shareholder surveys suggest that Chairman’s Statement is the most readable section of an annual report, perhaps because it is in narrative form and also likely to deal with future prospects. And it is also considered highly useful by analysts. Research shows that the content of the Chairman’s Statement indicates performance changes or even whether a company is at risk of bankruptcy.Balance Sheets DescriptionA balance sheet is a statement showing the financial condition of a business on a certain date (usually at the end of an accounting period) with an aim of giving, in a single document, some means of measuring the financial position of the business and4of judging its value as an investment. It contains the balances of the ledger accounts separated into liabilities (mainly capital invested, creditors, reserves, e.g. for staff pensions) and assets (mainly land and buildings, machinery, stock-in-trade, cash, investments, and amounts receivable from debtors).What is a balance sheet used for?A balance sheet helps any interested person quickly get a handle on the financial strength and capabilities of the business. Is the business in a position to expand? Can the business easily handle the normal financial ebbs and flows of revenues and expenses? Or, should the business take immediate steps to bolster cash reserves? Balance sheets can identify and analyse trends, particularly in the area of receivables and payables. Is the receivables cycle lengthening? Can receivables be collected more aggressively? Is some debt uncollectable? Has the business been slowing down payables to forestall an inevitable cash shortage?Balance sheets, along with income statements, are basic elements in providing financial reporting to potential lenders such as banks, investors, and vendors who are considering how much credit to grant the firm.5Language Expansion（语言扩充）6Teaching Tips（教学步骤）Pre-viewing●Pre-class task.

However, as a shareholder in Pearson myself, I am painfully aware that our share price has dropped dramatically over the past 24 months. It is little consolation that most of our media peers have experienced similar declines. As I write this, the newspapers are full of headlines about prolonged economic and political uncertainty, stock market falls and international terrorism. Why, therefore, am I still confide nt about Pearson’s future?1. We are now in three fundamentally strong long-term businesses.2. The governance of Pearson is in good health.3. Pearson’s work is done by many, many bright, energetic and totally committed people.We have set about 2009 with confidence and determination. We tried not to be distracted by irrational exuberance when the markets boomed, and we won’t be deflected by irrational pessimism on the way down. We’re keeping our eyes firmly fixed on the big picture—which is that we have three world-class businesses, better managed than ever before, with leading positions in long-term attractive markets. That’s a powerful combination that will ensure that Pearson will continue to make good progress this year and for many years to come.Discussion:1. Pearson makes profits mainly from education and consumer publishing. Do you agree with the chairman that those are strong long-term businesses? Why?2. If you were looking for a company in which to make your first investment, would you put Pearson on your list? Why or why not?9补充教学资源Video 1Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.I am pleased to announce that this year has been a very good year for our company. Overall, we’ve increased our market share from 37 percent to 48 percent. That’s a signif icant increase. We ordered 35 new planes last year. To date, we have received 15 of them, which we are using on both our domestic and our international routes. That brings our total number of planes to 84.We’ve also developed an extensive program to train all our employees on the new aircraft. So far, two-thirds of the pilots and three-quarters of the mechanics have already finished training.We’ve opened several new routes this year, and we have extended service on our popular Singapore route.With our increased focus on customer service, customer complaints have dropped to seven and a half percent, down from 15 percent last year. That’s 50 percent less than last year.And the number of passengers continues to rise. This year, we’ve carried 12 million passengers, an increase of five and a half percent over last year. August, in particular, was a very strong month. If you look at the chart here, you’ll see that we carried 1,336,000 passengers in August, an increase of 8 percent over the same period last ye ar. And our cargo service is growing fast. We’ve carried 50 million kilos of cargo, an increase of 56 percent over last year’s figures.10Video 2We are No. 1!Allen Zhou: Good morning, Miss Kasumi.Kasumi: Good morning, Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou, your air ticket. 8:50 tomorrow morning.Allen Zhou: Thank you.Kasumi: You must have been very busy these days, Mr. Zhou. I understand that you have set up a new plant in Jiangsu.Allen Zhou: Yes, you’re right. Our new plant has just started running. I need to go down there once every week to make sure that everything is under control.Kasumi: I see. Perhaps we can get started now, Mr. Zhou?Allen Zhou: Yes. Er… a second. Well, this morning, I’ll tell you about the business performance of our company in the y ear 2004. After that, we’ll show you around our main plant.Kasumi: OK.Allen Zhou: This is our financial report. It contains some graphs that will help you get a clearer picture of our business.Kasumi: Great. Thank you.Allen Zhou: As you know, we make and sell refrigerators and washing machines. As you can see from this bar graph for the year 2004, our business is getting big. The annual turnover reached 10.2 billion yuan. That’s an increase of about 112%11over the previous year.Kasumi: Your profit also increased?Allen Zhou: Definitely. Look at the next graph. Our profit amounted to 725.33 million yuan, an increase of over 64% over 2003.Kasumi: Wow!Allen Zhou: These two pie graphs show the total output of our main products, refrigerators and washing machines. First look at this one on the right, the total output of refrigerators stood at 2.1 million units, of which nearly half were exported.Kasumi: Which countries are your leading export markets?Allen Zhou: United States and some European countries.Kasumi: I see. How about washing machines?Allen Zhou: The total output of washing machines in 2004 was 1.98 million. 0.7 million units were exported.Kasumi: You seemed to put great emphasis on overseas markets. How about your performance in the domestic market?Allen Zhou: That’s a very good question. In fact, that is the point I’d like to talk about next. Our domestic market shares are increasing steadily. We took 23% of the refrigerator market and 15.6% of the washing machine market. These two figures place us at No. 1 in both markets.Kasumi: That’s pretty impressive.Alen Zhou: Now let’s look at…12。

And, so I go to the party, and I get there and everybody is in formal dresses, they're like all dressed up. I'd just come from work and so I am in my sweat pants and my grubby T-shirt with the stains all over it. (Oh my god!) I was really embarrassed. So I go in there and of course everybody's kind of looking at me funny because, you know, I come up to this person in a sequined red dress and I've got my sweat pants on. And she just acts really polite like nothing's wrong which make me even more uncomfortable. I pretty much just, you know, said my hellos and then said my goodbyes and left the party. I got right out of there. It was really embarrassing.Unit11M: So, how was the interview?F: Well, actually, it was three interviews.M: Three?F: Yeah.
